HRS §486J-6

Keeping your submitted information private

This section says that information you give to the department under this law is confidential and cannot be shared with the public. The department and its staff can only use it for the purpose it was given, and cannot publish or show it to others, except in limited cases. If you make the information public yourself, it is no longer confidential.
